Rene is a fifth generation resident of Arizona where she hibernates in the summer and delights in picking oranges in the winter while the rest of the country shivers with cold. She was first a writer, then a physician, then a writer again. She is married to Dwight, has three cats and two chickens, and wonderful children and grandchildren. She loves to write funny little stories about life, family and making good choices. Currently, she is nearing completion of a memoir about Medicine, women and what it means to be a woman.
